This greatly reduces collection costs by optimizing routes and eliminating the need for specialized collection vehicles. Additionally, diversion rates typically increase 35% over traditional multi-receptacle recycling programs which greatly reduces a community’s waste disposal costs and accelerates their efforts to achieve recycling goals.
